Gynaecomastia is a common condition producing generalised enlargement of the male breast tissue
This condition often occurs during puberty and in many occasions resolves spontaneously
It can also occur in old age in which case it is unlikely to resolve but rarely requires treatment, and often runs in families
What is involved?
To perform male breast reduction, excisional techniques are used which involve an incision around the nipple allowing access to the enlarged tissue which is removed
Liposuction techniques involve reducing the amount of breast tissue by
suctioning it out via small incisions around the breast
